Voting for the 2023-24 ASB officers opened on March 9 and closed on March 10. All freshmen, sophomores and juniors were able to vote through the election link sent to their school emails. 

The winning candidates were announced on March 14: Junior Taylor Chu will be the next ASB president, junior Emily Ta will be the next vice president, junior Scotty Rich will be the next treasurer and sophomore Anisa Taymuree will be the next secretary. The two club commissioners will be juniors Carine Chan and Joshua Ta. 

The ASB’s annual election rolls around each spring. With it comes the beginning of campaigns and a school-wide student vote to select the following school year’s ASB officers. 

After the ASB is elected, the newly elected officers convene to choose the club commissioners. 

To be eligible for ASB candidacy, students must have one year of experience in the leadership class. Those running must submit a self-nomination form one week prior to campaigning week, where candidates can put up physical posters around campus and post promotion videos online via social media. Campaigning usually involves officer candidates introducing themselves and sharing their goals once elected. 

As future ASB president, Chu said one of her main goals next year is to increase school spirit. 

“I plan to keep everyone involved so they feel like they are all a part of the student body,” Chu said. “I want to organize more food truck events as well as encourage participation in rallies.”
